By the bottle that was purchased at the breery. Smoke a bit strong, but well mixed in with the dark malts.

Jul 13, 2008 This is superb. Pours pitch black. Smoked aroma and flavor have a really nice sweetness to them. Does not end up reminding one of smoked sausage. Very easy to drink. Dark chocolate and subtle charcoal aftertaste.

Jul 13, 2008 The color was dark black. The head was thin, creamy, and very dark brown. The aroma was coffee, smoke, sweet, and molasses. The flavor was espresso, roasty, smoke, molasses, and hops. The palate was thick-bodied. The finish was roasty and hoppy.

Jul 13, 2008 Good god do I love the pour of a Dark Horse stout. Everyone I’ve emptied out of the bottle has been ink black, ink. Thin chestnut brown head. The nose is so nice, smoked chocolate, coffee, normal chocolate, sweet, no alcohol, molasses, brown sugar. The flavor is.....roasty, bittersweet bakers chocolate, very very mild smoked character, coffee. I’d count off half a point for the mouthfeel, wish it had been fuller. Nice carbonation though. Finishes roasty with coffee.

Jun 18, 2008 A black pour with a dark tan head. Whoah. Aroma is roasted malts, chocolate, and coffee. Flavor has more roasted goodness, some chocolate, caramel, and wood shows through as well. Not quite as smokey as expected, but the stout hanging out here is very nice. Finishes mildly bitter.

Jun 18, 2008 Bottle. My second favorite of the series. Pours a dark brown black body with a dark tan head. Aroma is smoky malt, peat, woodiness, and some chocolate and sweet malt. Comes together great in the flavor. Great beer.
